    It is top class and found it very comfortable, there was a welcome pack with good Irish fare as well as milk, cheese and butter in the fridge was just what we needed after a long day to get there. The kitchen was very well appointed with top of the range appliances. All the rooms were very comfortable and the views from the balcony were fantastic, we spent quite a few hours just watching the sunrise and sunsets. Would definitely go ago.

  • Ann

      The house is beautifully furnished, with fantastic views over the sea.  It has been renovated to a high standard with all the facilities needed to enjoy a carefree and really comfortable holiday.  In addition to that a really generous welcome basket. Its a lovely place to stay.  We took trips around the Ards peninsular,  Belfast, the Ulster Folk Museum, Mount Stewart and the Giants Causeway.
